This is looking mostly good.  The one thing I don't like is all the extra
xfree calls.  I think a better way would to not actually xstrdup the found
pathname early after all, but instead just get it from the BFD.  So instead
of the original:

   xfree (bfd_get_filename (object_bfd));
   object_bfd->filename = xstrdup (pathname);

you'd do something like:

   object_bfd->filename = xrealloc (object_bfd->filename, ...);
   strcat (object_bfd->filename, sep);

Minor coding style issue: sentences in a comment should end with a '.'
followed by two spaces, like so:
        ... set sysroot command.  */

See comment above, but also: there should be a "+ 1" for the null
terminator in the length computation somewhere.
